...but, unusually, I was wrong. Almost everything pulls warm on me, but not Moth. It looks like a perfect taupe-y pink on me and has quickly become my go-to cool-neutral blush. Props for the seamless blending and sheering out on my pale cheeks that cannot withstand but a mere touch of colour. In addition, I must commend the buildability of this balm formula as well as the non-tackiness of it. Plus, it looks absolutely bomb as an opaque layer on my lips as well. I truly hope this will become a permanent colour in this line of products.

I really hope they add this to the year-round line. I love the Lust and Lovesick Inner Glow Creme pigments, and Moth is like if the two of those had a soft, sheer (but very buildable and versatile) baby. In the summer I use Lust as a bronzer/contour build-out for Lovesick, but in the winter I'm slightly too pale for that. Moth is my ideal one-and-done multi. It's what I had hoped the nude color in YSL's Make Me Blush would look like, but that leans a little pinker and isn't as versatile. This can be sheered out to perfection for a natural flush, but is also the exact pinkish nude I need to do a "my lips and lids but better) mono-look. Love, love, love this. When I feel like adding a little contour I use Hornet, and this works beautifully with that!

TONE: Similar to Desire, but more mauve, subdued & greyed-down (where the former is clearer and more pinkish in hue, compared).

FORMULA: The CNs are more glassy/glossy, whereas IGs have a creamier, more matte finish. Love both, couldn't pick. IMO, the diff is subtle in any case. Note: Used w/ brush only.

PACKAGING: The compact is gorgeous (even if, in a way, wishing I'd gotten my hands on some w/ the almost cult original design); sleek, user, and relatively storage friendly. Smart sz -- and while I usually dislike mirrors in my makeup, I much like this one. It's discrete, small/light enough, and actually quite useful. Smaller than the IGs.

SCENT: Seems less prominent (near non-existent, unless you inhale close & energetically) than in the IGs, or Lip Sheers. True to description, and scrumptious.

OTHER: Colored name label, which is helpful.

When wearing RdF, I feel both ultra cool, AND polished.

The texture is creamy and easy to apply. There a faint aroma of lavender that doesn't smell synthetic. If you were a fan of KVD's Lolita back in the day this is a very similar color. I'd say it's more similar than the new "Lolita" which is now called "Queen of Poison". This shade is way friendlier for fair olive skin!
